I wore this out during my shopping trip to Annapolis last weekend (see previous blog, here). As you can see we got several inches of snow a few days ago and it’s still lingering around. I guess now was the perfect time to unveil this coat that I’ve had for at least a year. I rarely shop at The Limited, but the day I decided to go in there I ended up walking out with an amazing deal. It has batwing sleeves, a shawl collar and a zigzag print in brown, black and white that I love. Looks like something I could have gotten out of my great grandmother’s closet. I wore it with my Blank skinny jeans, Modern Vintage boots, and scarf from J.Crew. Let’s not forget my Tierney City Andrea Brueckner bag!

So I finally got my hands on two things I’ve been wanting. One was a shearling jacket. I didn’t care if it was leather, denim or wool, I just needed one in my wardrobe. I came across this one when I went to BCBG to pick up these leggings that look like thigh-high tights. I didn’t plan on getting the jacket then, but once I tried it on I had to have it. So I went home with both.

The shoes, on the other hand, I have been searching for them for months now. Came close to winning a pair on Ebay at one point, but my laptop took forever to load the page and I lost out. Huge sad face. I kept up the search and finally Theoutnet.com added Alexander Wang to their assortment and there they were! At such a good price I immediately ordered them. The Edita Mules were mine at last! They have a 5.5 inch heel and a 1.5 inch platform. Deadly. So with the BCBG leather jacket, leggings and A.Wang platforms, I wore a thin black BCBG Max Azria long-sleeved shirt. Love how dramatic all the black is together.

These photos were taken before it got too cold. Back on that secluded path that is visited by very few. That day it was covered in leaves and a bit windy, but we managed. I love how quiet it is back there. It’s so relaxing. The sun just made it through the trees which is the reason for all the shadows.

I saw this knit skirt in H&M and thought it would be too cute with this leather bomber I got from Nordstrom some years back. The ALDO boots I’m wearing I’ve also had for years and I love them. The almond toe makes them so comfortable. Not to mention, they’re perfectly broken-in from all the years of wear. Paired them with a light turtleneck from J.Crew and a wool scarf from my huge scarf collection. I just can’t seem to get enough of them and it doesn’t even matter what time of year it is. If I see and love it, it’s mine!

Happy New Year everyone! We made it through the holidays! Woohoo! I came across these photos the other day and figured that posting them was way overdue. Kenny took them back in October. Yes, shame on me for taking so long. He set up a little studio and wanted to play around with the lighting. After a lot of flashing lights, a stool and lots of laughing, we had these. I’m wearing a Joe’s Jeans flannel button-up, BCBG Max Azria leggings, ALDO pumps and a wool scarf from Ruehl.
